I used to tell my mother—if water starts coming inside, climb up onto the kitchen counter.
We have a 2nd floor, but I remember the images of those people stranded on their roofs during Hurricane Katrina, as the water covered their entire 2-story houses.
We're pretty good swimmers, but I don't want to swim with alligators and other scary critters, lol.
Ugh... praying Debby fizzles away - somehow.
